Description:
This geometric abstract composition by French modernist Guy Nicod demonstrates his mastery of structure, form, and colour harmony. Executed in watercolour and gouache, the painting explores the intersection of architectural space and abstraction, presenting a layered composition of angular planes in ochre, red, green, and blue tones. At its centre, a tall column-like shape stands upright within a room-like setting, its shadowed sides suggesting depth and perspective. A smaller prism in the foreground mirrors this motif, creating a rhythmic dialogue between near and far.
Nicod’s use of geometry recalls the influence of early 20th-century movements such as Cubism and Constructivism, where architectural logic met painterly expression. The controlled palette — dominated by warm browns, mustard yellow, and muted pinks — is balanced by bold accents of crimson and teal, giving the composition both structure and warmth. Subtle shifts in transparency reveal Nicod’s sensitivity to spatial layering, while the circular form near the top of the frame introduces a softer, almost celestial counterpoint to the rectilinear precision of the design.
This piece likely belongs to Nicod’s mid-century explorations into abstract form, where the artist distilled everyday visual experiences into carefully balanced compositions. Though rooted in modernist abstraction, the work retains an architectural sensibility, inviting viewers to interpret the scene as both an interior and a symbolic construct.
Collectors of French modernist and mid-century works on paper will value this painting for its compositional clarity, tonal sophistication, and its rare glimpse into Nicod’s exploration of geometry and space. Decorative yet intellectually engaging, it bridges the boundaries between painting, design, and architectural study — a hallmark of Nicod’s versatile artistic practice.
